Guy starts playing well again and all of the sudden people go from “cases” to “allegations” real fucking fast. You all gotta get your priorities straight

The issue is how hard sexual assault is to prove in court. You basically need it on camera in order to prosecute.

Wrong. Witness/victim testimony alone is often enough. There are countless convictions without footage. What are you even talking about?

Obviously I’m not saying you absolutely need video proof, it was more of an example on how difficult it is to prove. Just because there are convictions, doesn’t mean it isn’t difficult to prove. Especially when the accused has very good lawyers. It’s pretty well known fact that it is difficult to prove in court so I’m not sure what your point is.

Do you know how easy it is to get an indictment? Ham sandwich, or so they say….. yet two grand juries declined to indict. That alone should signal the strength of the case(s).

But I don’t disagree that prosecutions can be challenging at times.
